Mardi Gras
February 17
Mardi Gras is a centuries-old tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. It was initially celebrated by European Christians as a way to mark the beginning of Lent and to prepare for the fasting period of Easter.
Today, it is one of the world’s most colorful and vibrant festivals, featuring party-like parades, elaborate costumes, lively music, and indulgent feasting.
